I have been blessed with a boyfriend. It's reall too, going on 2 years.

He takes care of me knowing full well aspergers, anxiety, panic attacks, ADD. He's perfect, because he loves me in spite of these things. He even restored alot of self esteem I didn't have when I came to him.

I know not everyone out there is blessed with such, but your parents love you for who you are, just like this...only without the sex.

If you have a mental illness, do you tell people about your diagnosis in real life? Whom do you choose to tell and why? Why would you choose not to tell someone?

I'm very open about my problems to anyone who'd want to listen online. Offline, however, I mostly tell my family and psychologists/psychiatrists so the first party can try to understand the problems I'm dealing with and can help me find solutions for everyday problems whilst I feel the latter party has to work together to fix all my problems and not stare themselves blind on just one of them.
